Oathbreaker "Where I Leave"

From The Album "Rheia" | In Stores Now: www.theoathbrea...
"Rheia" is the groundbreaking album from Belgium's Oathbreaker. Engineered, mixed, and mastered by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Loma Prieta), "Rheia" is a true game changer for the genre. Blurring lines and dissolving the boundaries of heavy music as we know it today.
Opener "10:56" begins with a haunting guitar riff and Caro Tanghe's beautifully sung vocal before abruptly soaring to new heights with "Second Son of R". Its blasts of melody mutate into a blackened buzz while waves of tempo changes pound down with intense emotional weight. "Being Able To Feel Nothing" then rolls in like a storm. Chaotically breaking apart to reveal the eye before churning once again. "Stay Here / Accroche-Moi" is an otherworldly reverb drenched acoustic number that leads to "Needles In Your Skin". A deeply personal song that showcases the artistic strength vulnerability brings. It's hard to believe that this is just the half way point of this post everything masterwork. "Immortals" then unfurls as a goose bump inducing monster. This leads to the ambitious "I'm Sorry, This Is", "Where I Live", and "Where I Leave”; A musical triptych that needs to be heard to be believed. All of it comes to an end with mesmerizing closer "Begeerte". Ethereally materializing before vanishing into the beautiful unknown.

I'll be a lonely child forever Nurtured in a broken house. sin Giving others what I myself was denied I was nailed to the roots of my tree A feeling growing in my dazed mind There's nothing in my heart left to offer I'll be a lonely child forever Ill-suited to breed. sin My mind runs in circles dropping in the stream Lines dissolve as I go Drink me, make me feel something Running through the old fields of dreams Until there is nowhere left to run When it all comes down Like the walls of your eyes collapsing I cave in to primal fears Lay to rest my escapism and bury the past again

This album really grew on me. Definitely the album I've listened to the most since it came out. Caro well and truly kills it with her clean vocals, I absolutely love them. She's got the best guttural vocals in the business, and her clean vocals are perfect for the music they make. It's not the sound of a highly-trained singer but they sound like wails and whimpers of anguish, teetering on desperation. I guess that sounds like a negative but it's truly not, it works so well with Oathbreaker's style. I like how it's mixed too - the vocals often get drowned out by the instrumentals, sounds like they're struggling to stay afloat, drowning in calculated chaos. Packs an emotional punch that keeps me coming back again and again. I love drowning in Oathbreaker, and I'll be listening to this album until the day I'm snuffed.
